The Essence, Attributes, and Description Principle of Organizational Systems

Abstract. The concept and essence of an organizational system are discussed. A general characterization of this concept is provided within the theory of control in organizational systems. Several attributes are indicated to classify a given system as an organizational one (the description principle of organizational systems). A mathematical model of a general organizational system is described, with an illustrative example based on the Cournot duopoly. Extended examples of some classes of organizational systems specified using this principle are presented. Such classes include special-purpose organizational and technical systems, queuing organizational systems, and ecological-economic organizational systems. Typical representatives of each class are described within the general model proposed. This paper has a methodological focus and is intended to define a standard description of organizational systems.

Keywords: organizational systems, game-theoretic models, control in active systems.
